Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians

Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI) is a federally recognized Tribe in Oregon. Our ancestors signed many treaties with the United States.

We the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians are the most diverse confederation of Tribes and Bands on a single reservation in the United States. Our ancestors spoke 10 completely different languages, each of which had multiple dialects. Our ancestors brought with them deep connections to more than 20 million acres of ancestral territory combined, including all of Western Oregon from the summit of

the Cascade mountains to the Pacific and extending into what’s now SW Washington State and northern California. We were promised the 1.1 million acres Siletz Reservation as our permanent home, but following massive reservation reductions Congress passed the Western Oregon Termination Act in 1954 (took effect in 1956), and our federally recognized status as a tribe was also taken. In 1977 our lobbying of Congress to repeal our Termination was successful, and we became the second formerly Terminated Tribe to regain federal recognition as a Tribe.

Day 3 wrapped up Run to the Rogue with a strong finish.

It was great to see so many people come together to walk the final stretch as a group, supporting each other along the way. Chairman Dee Pigsley gave thanks to the runners and organizers. Vice Chairman Bud Lane echoed those words with support for our traditions, and led drum close out the run.

Afterward, many cooled off in the Rogue River and gathered for a final meal. Many thanks to everyone who helped make this event possible.
